Broccoli with Spicy Tahini

Ingredients

1 pound broccoli

1/3 cup tahini sauce

1 tablespoon harissa, or to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Prep:
1. Bring 1 inch of water in a large saucepan to a boil.
2. Cut broccoli into florets.
Make:
1. Place broccoli into water (use a steamer basket if you have one), cover and cook until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes (depending on taste). Reserve 1/3 cup of the broccoli-steaming liquid.
2. Whisk together tahini and reserved cooking liquid (or use a blender). Add harissa, lemon juice and salt and whisk/blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
3. Serve the broccoli with the sauce.

Notes

If you can't find harissa any hot sauce will do, we like sriracha.
